Olomouc

This week was a blast! On Monday we had a sweet lesson with a super successful guy that is only 25 years old. He pretty much gave us a mini training on how to be successful and was still willing to read the Book of Mormon and continue meeting with us. We had a pretty packed week with lessons which was great.
On Friday all of the missionaries in the Czech Republic got to go to the Karlstejn castle where our mission was first dedicated in July 24, 1929. We woke up at 3 in the morning to travel to Prague but we ended up getting there way earlier than we thought we would so we stopped by the Svaty Vaclav Namesti and looked around for a little until all of the missionaries went to the castle together. It was an amazing experience to go up to the top of the mountain and remember what this mission really means for the people of the Czech Republic. It is especially cool to have a Czech mission president that has been through it all here and really knows how important our work is for the people here. They have been through so much but are definitely ready to hear our message. Also while we were in Prague these construction workers were arm wrestling and when we walked past they challenged me to an arm wrestle so of course I said yes but he was left handed and I got wrecked...
On Saturday we did service for some members here. We spent the whole day chopping and stacking wood but it was pretty fun. The members dad is this old guy that just chops wood in his boxers and nothing else! haha and he made this tractor to pull his trailer out of an old tiller and it is pretty sick, I got to ride it for a bit.
So it was a pretty good week. I hope you all have a great week!
